Who Do You Trust? was the early prototype of The Newlywed Game, though similar to You Bet Your Life.
Gameplay[]
Three couples (sometimes two) competed on each show, nearly always a man and a woman chosen for their unique backgrounds; the announcer would introduce couples one at a time, and Carson spent more time interviewing the contestants than quizzing them.
In the quiz portion, Carson would tell the male contestant the category of the upcoming question; the man would then have to decide whether to answer the question himself or "trust" the woman to do so.
Three questions were played per couple, worth $25, $50, and $75; if two or all three couples tied in the cash winnings, they were asked a question involving a numerical answer; the couple coming closest to the correct answer moved on to the bonus game.
Bonus round[]
The bonus round pitted the day's winners against the winners from the previous day. One partner from each team, usually the man, was placed in an isolation booth and asked a question with several answers. The one who got the most correct answers won $500 (later $1,000) and the right to return the following day.

Trivia[]
This show was a revival of the short-lived primetime show called Do You Trust Your Wife?, although this program started out with the same title.
Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon would go on to greater fame as the host/announcer duo on The Tonight Show, replacing Jack Paar. They had to leave this show to do that, and Woody Woodbury took over for the final season; Bill Nimmo returned as announcer.
Unreleased Merchandise[]
A Who Do You Trust? board game was going to be released by Milton Bradley twice in the early 60's (once with Johnny Carson on the cover in 1960 and a second time with Woody Woodbury pictured in 1962), but it did not get released at all.
